Reaction blah blah blah (also spoilers)

[sweet_riiiiims]

Was there any doubt Silas was going to go under the knife? You don't let a skinjob mess with your partner.

I think he'll be my best work, maybe more enjoyable than that skinjob Sam.

Now now, kids, play nice! Don't make me turn this thing around.

[sweet_riiiiims]

Don't worry, we're only going to play a little doctor.

[lordofchaos7]

[Klarion claps.]

Ohhhh, you sound like you know how to have fun.

I like you already.

[sweet_riiiiims]

You know what they say: love your job and you don't work a day in your life.

[lordofchaos7]

I'll agree with you there, metal man!

I can't remember the last time I worked, yet I do my job every day.

[sweet_riiiiims]

You're a skingob with taste.

Hmm, what's your job, fleshling?

[lordofchaos7]

Ha! You know it.

I'm a Lord of Chaos...and yes, it is as much fun as it sounds.

I like to keep things interesting for all the little mortals.

[sweet_riiiiims]

Hmmm, I don't remember the position was filled.

[lordofchaos7]

Oh it has been for a Millenia or two...or three..I lose track of time.

So...what do you do?

[sweet_riiiiims]

I consider myself a part time surgeon, full time racer.

[lordofchaos7]

Seems like you've got your claws in all the pies, then.

Good plan.

So what do you like better...putting things together or taking them apart?

[sweet_riiiiims]

I'm better at breaking them than fixing them. Consider it an occupational hazard.

[staresat]

[You got your claws on a human. One that managed to merge itself with their own biology. He'd be lying if he said he didn't want to see the results.Though he's sure he would do it better.]

Your "new patient"?

[sweet_riiiiims]

[Hi there creepy mccreeperson. You must be the lovechild of Sounwave and Ikea.]

A skinjob named Silas. We have a...history together.

[staresat]

[You'd better not let that history get in the way of the dissection, because that's all he appears to be interested in.]

Do you have early observations of how the merge had been performed?

[sweet_riiiiims]

Oh I'll definitely get them soon, just wait.

[staresat]

["Soon?" Someone is a bit disapproving of the way you handle your science.]

[Condescending stare: active]

Don't let your eagerness cloud the objective, Knockout.

[sweet_riiiiims]

I had the objective perfectly in sight.

[AKA tearing apart Silas.]

[staresat]

[There's a long pause there - he doesn't quite believe you, Knockout. Unfortunately, he's not really in a position to stand menacingly in the medical bay and oversee the procedure. So he's just going to leave that cold stare.]

We will see when you submit your conclusions.

[sweet_riiiiims]

How could those optics miss anything?

[staresat]

[Oh he won't miss an iota of what's on that report. He'll be looking for what's not on there.]

Good. You're aware this opportunity does not come up often.

[5dontlie]

Out for a bit of revenge, Love?

[sweet_riiiiims]

Revenge and business go hand in hand, it seems.

[blewuptheship]

And what, precisely, do you expect to learn from this lab-rat of yours? Beyond the human's pain tolerance, that is.

[sweet_riiiiims]

It's mutual. I have a lot to teach him.

[blewuptheship]

Good luck. Earthlings aren't known for their intelligence or obedience. .

[sweet_riiiiims]

What they lack in intelligence they make up for in nerve endings.
